EP Review: 'Missed b/w Helpless' by Cancers

Cancers' follow-up
to their excellent
2014 full-length debut Fatten the Leeches is a two song EP
that picks up where the LP left off and kicks things up a few
notches. Present are crunching and buzzing guitars, tight hooks, and
smooth melodies just bubbling below the surface of the fuzz. Both
songs on Missed b/w Helpless are quite good but “Helpless”
is truly the stand-out with its dueling male and female vocals (I
really can't get enough of Ella Kasper's lush, wispy, and sensuous
singing) and pop sensibility. The biggest takeaway from Missed
b/w Helpless is that Cancers is not slowing down one bit and they
so much more in store us to hear, and I for one can't wait to hear
it.
